Question
(10%) Problem 7: In a mass spectrometer, a specific velocity can be selected from a distribution by injecting charged particles between a set of plates with a constant electric field between them and a magnetic field across them (perpendicular to the direction of particle travel). If the fields are tuned exactly right, only particles of a specific velocity will pass through this region undeflected. Consider such a velocity selector in a mass spectrometer with a 0.095 T magnetic field.
What electric field strength, in volts per meter, is needed to select a speed of 4.1 x 10^6 ms?

Answer:
The strength of electric field is

Explanation:
Given:
Magnetic field
T
Speed of particle

Here we equate two forces
For finding electric field strength,
Therefore, the strength of electric field is
